National Teacher Day is a day to honor educators for the service they provide students each and every school year. Teachers in the Lufkin High School Special Education Department go the extra mile, making sure their students get the most out of their high school experience.
"We're mentors, we're their cheerleaders, we're supporters and without that I don't know if kids would have the same opportunity," said Alex Hobbs, self-contained autistic teacher.
Faculty members say they've devoted their lives to helping students with physical and intellectual disabilities reach their full potential.
